A robotic hand developed at MIT provides its users something most people don't experience - the ability to use seven fingers on a single hand.

Two-handed tasks, like opening a jar or peeling a banana, become possible with just one hand, using the device. They could also be used to assist people with limited mobility, assisting with daily living activities, such as laundry and cooking.
